Weekend Calendar: 3/6 to 3/8

It's "Spring Forward" weekend, so does that mean some bars may be open until 3am on Saturday night...?

Friday: First Friday of the month means art is South End including photos of street art. There's a film premiere at the wall-climbimg place in Somerville, and I'd like to go just to walk around. Yes, Hallelujah The Hills is playing downtown tonight at a non-rock club!

Saturday: Years ago I made fun of the Somerville Maple Syrup Festival, but my townie neighbors don't quite evoke the pastoral charms of somewhere in Vermont... I do like standing outside the Old State House and taunting the Brits at the Boston Massacre Reenactment. We shouldn't have to encourage young women to pursue STEM careers, but I guess we do. Among all of the good music tonight, the Mardis/Tardy Gras Ball is where heart will be even if my booty doesn't get there.

Sunday: If you still haven't been to Chinese New Year celebration, Harvard Square is doing their thing. Someone told me about a 'organizing meeting' to take action about the MBTA's horrible, awful, maddening winter service -- and all are welcome to join.

And did you know March 8 is International Women's Day? Some arty people in JP knew!
